Operated by Kassandros Tours · Loutraki, Pella
You step off the minibus under a canopy of plane trees and the mountain stream immediately draws your eyes — water steaming where it hits cold air, stones slick with mineral sheen. Pozar (Loutra Pozar) opens like a small theatre of running water: shallow basalt pools carved by centuries of flow, bigger thermal basins fed by warm springs, and a trail that climbs to a cliff-side viewpoint.
easy.
7 hours.
Light activity; suitable for most people who can manage short, uneven walks and standing in warm water.
Expect roughly a 1.5–2 hour drive each way depending on traffic; the full tour runs about 7 hours.
This half-day includes free time to use the public Pozar pools; private or fee-based private pools are excluded.
Families commonly visit, but the operator marks the tour as not recommended for pregnant travelers; supervise young children around water and hot basins.
There are cafés and a small market in Loutraki where you can buy local pies, honey and loukoumi — bring small bills as some vendors prefer cash.
The thermal springs have been used by local communities for centuries; the area developed around the springs as a stop on inland routes through Pella.
Stay on marked paths, avoid soaps or detergents in the water, and pack out waste — the springs are fragile and rely on responsible visitor behavior.
